Hello, I'm Brendan Mulligan

I just finished reading Pete Koomen’s article, AI Horseless Carriages. While I enjoyed it and agree with his view of the problem, I strongly disagree with his proposed solution. 

I recommend reading the entire thing, it’s short and includes nice interactive examples. But put briefly, Koomen makes a few arguments about modern AI writing assistants:

• they generate generic slop
• getting them to output something usable often takes as much work as writing the output yourself
• the solution is to give users more control over the ‘system prompt’ layer of the stack
